Expatriate: An expatriate (often shortened to expat) is a person temporarily or permanently residing in a country other than that of their citizenship. The word comes from the Latin terms ex ("out of") and patria ("country, fatherland").
Once the going gets tough, of course you're gonna remember and compare everything to home or what once was, the negatives of EK and Dubai become more adverse. You fly a heavy fleet, no regional, many of your flights will be long/ultra range. You fly 90+ hours a month, we get it. If you dont like it, leave honestly stop with the BS, they're are plenty of people waiting in line to fly a heavy, whether you like it or not, stop thinking the UAE is a democratic candy shop with labor laws and unions like the Western world.
Its a choice, which some people are ok with, you made it already, now that you regret it, fill out a BA or QF app and go. And if you don't get hired, blame your home country and airline, not EK. And if you dont, don't be a hypocrite and let your ego flourish. I wouldn't be surprised if the very people complaining, retire as EK pilots.
Enjoy

More words of wisdom from a 25 year old wiz kid who would pay for his type rating because he doesn't have the talent to get hired by AC.
Is there anything else you can enlighten all of us on Striker? Your name is very appropriate because if some airline does decide to strike you wouldn't think twice of crossing the picket line to fly that Big Shinny Jet that is so elusive to you. No wonder our profession isn't what it used to be with "men" like you.

short flights long nights
A supportive employer???
DEC for 777 and 380 now a done deal. What could go wrong?
Well two conflicting reports at the moment. This morning told by recruiting guru they were taking them. But have just been told it's still only 330 Dec. Web just shows 330. May have been mislead.

DECs had to happen for 380 and 777.
Can't afford to release the FOs as too short of them, combined with the sudden jump in left-seat resignations.
Think they may see a few more right-seat resignations now too!
This is starting to snowball...

Sorry - I mean resignations from the 777 and 330/340.
I am not aware of any resignations on the 380. However, a shortage of qualified 380 FOs may mean they need to call on the 777 and 330/340 skippers... which will be a problem with the resignations.
I used to hear a lot of talk from skippers about looking for other options but didn't know anyone who had actually resigned. Now I know of 7 guys personally who are working their notice - and FOs tell me they're flying with a few guys who have already resigned.
It's more than I expected despite the usual talk at this time of year.
EDIT: I had forgotten about the DCP 777 (RL) who is also unfortunately on his way.
